A custom solution for two different material specifications

Alabama and Florida have different specifications when it comes to the grain size and composition of the processed material for road construction. The location of the Mohawk Valley Mining quarry in the boundary region of the two states sets the company the task of fulfilling all the specific requirements. The two scalpers –a MOBISCREEN MSS 802i EVO and a MOBISCREEN MS 15 Z – produce the material that meets Florida’s specifications. The oversize grain screened out here is then run through the MOBIREX MR 110i EVO2 impact crusher to produce a final product compliant with the specifications for Alabama.

"This is a very unusual situation," says Joey Rutkowski, CEO of Mohawk Valley Mining, "which made it all the more important for us that we found Kleemann and the experts who could work with us on solving our problem." Through the combination of a MOBIREX MR 110i EVO2 mobile impact crusher with two scalpers, a new MOBISCREEN MSS 802i EVO and its predecessor, a MS 15 Z, purchased as a used machine, Mohawk Valley Mining now has the reliable plant train it needs for processing the challenging limestone material.

Focus on efficiency and user-friendliness

Another important cost factor is the low fuel consumption of the entire plant train. The company was also impressed by the short training and familiarisation period required for its employees, who had no previous experience from working with such machines. "The crushing plant’s SPECTIVE operating concept is really intuitive. This saves time and minimizes mistakes," says Rutkowski. He also sees the simple handling concept reflected in the numerous well-thought-out details, the good accessibility of all components and the automatic mode of the MSS 802i EVO, with which all belt conveyors can be folded in or out in the correct sequence at the push of a button.

 

Long-term partnership and sustainable success

The mobile solutions from Kleemann make Mohawk Valley Mining’s work much easier and tick all the boxes when it comes to the company’s particular needs. "Our collaboration with Kleemann gives us confidence that we will be successful here in the long term," says Rutkowski. “We are definitely on the right track.”
